From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 46

My eyes widened as I tried to wipe the surprise off of my face but it was too late. I straightened as she leaned forward, sneering every word. "I guess we see who he got bored with."

"Get the fuck out Soleil!"

My gaze turned to see Rhett's angry face snarling at her, his muscles bulging as his shoulders rolled with tension. She shrugged and winked down at me as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. The scent hit me like a brick wall before I could blink. His scent. It was all over her.

I stood, staring at the floor in front of me as I heard him growling lowly in anger before slamming his hand into the wall. The loud sound caused me to jump and as I blinked, he'd stepped in front of me, shutting the door behind me and pulling me into his arms. "Lili, it's not..."

Something snapped inside of me and I let the fury wash over me, pushing hard against his chest as his grip tightened around me. "Let me go now." My voice was low and menacing. He hesitated but slowly released me and my nostrils flared. I could smell her on him.

"Lili, she came after me. You have to listen to me. I didn't..."

"Stop. Rhett just stop. I don't want to hear it." I stepped back, dragging a hand down my arm at an attempt to soothe myself. He stopped, his fists clenching at his sides as he stared at me intensely. "It's my fault she came in here, but I can't believe you actually gave into her." I said after a moment.

He scoffed and stepped forward, but I matched his step until I was back against the wall. "I didn't. She fucking jumped me the second she walked in. I would never take her now. Lili..."

I put my hands into the air in front of me and he froze as I glared at him. "Look, I get it ok. I can't say anything either. I've let Weston get close and I saw how it drove you crazy. This is just something we're going to have to get around eventually. Right now, it is what it is. Don't worry about it."

A flash of pain entered his eyes and his hand rose to touch me but I brushed it away, ignoring the feel of his skin against mine. "Don't Rhett. Just...don't."

I snatched the door open and walked out, slamming it shut behind me before running down the hall and out of the house. I needed a run more than anything right now. I had to get out of here.

"He has to have them hidden somewhere. He doesn't strike me as the type of wolf to make empty threats. She said this is what he does, and from what I've known of him, I'm inclined to agree." I said, studying the map before my brows rose. "What if he has them beneath it. He could be hiding them under the house."

Asher sighed and looked at me. "But how can we confirm that without getting inside. Maybe we can draw him out, but his watch will never let us inside without a fight."

Weston stepped closer. "We will put another detail on them to watch the house. He has to speak to them sometime. He can't just be letting them starve to death down there if he has them inside. I'll send our best four there now and they'll let us know if they see anything. If not, we take the house."

Asher nodded and eyed me as I pushed away from the desk, pacing. "It's the only other choice Alpha. He did threaten her and you. You're within your rights, but there will be blowback if we're wrong."

I growled and clenched my fists, closing my eyes as I tried to reign in my anger. "It's a risk I'm willing to take. I'm sick of this shit. It's time to end this. One way or another."
